Etymology of MOST SORREL

The term "most sorrel" does not have its own independent etymology, as it is a combination of two separate words: "most" and "sorrel".

1. "Most": The word "most" comes from the Old English word "mǣst", which means "greatest" or "utmost". It has its roots in the Germanic language family and can be traced back to Proto-Germanic. "Most" is used as a superlative form to indicate the greatest extent or degree of something.

2. "Sorrel": The word "sorrel" derives from Old French "sorel" and Latin "sorrelus". It refers to a perennial herbaceous plant with acid-tasting leaves, typically having arrow-shaped leaflets. "Sorrel" can also describe the color of horses with a reddish-brown coat.
